Dr Rebecca Huntley: Still Lucky - Why you should feel optimistic about Australia and its people

At a time when politics seems increasingly negative and our society hopelessly divided, Rebecca Huntley believes we’re more fortunate than we think, and have more in common than we know. While many of our politicians are becoming more conservative, both in their policies and their ambitions for the country, the Australian people – almost all of us – want to see real social change, she says. We are more generous and more progressive, and more alike, than we think we are – and we are better than our day-to-day political discourse would suggest.
